hearken unto their voice:

yourselves will become his slaves.
And he said unto him, Behold now, there is in this city a man of God, and he is an honourable man; all that he saith cometh surely to pass: now let us go thither;
peradventure he can
shew us our way that we should go.
“Look,” said the servant, “in this city there is a man of God who is highly respected; everything he says surely comes to pass. Let us go there now. Perhaps he will tell us which way to go.”
And the servant answered Saul again, and said, Behold, I have here at hand the fourth part of a
shekel of silver: that will I give to the man of God, to tell us our way.
The servant answered him again. “Look,” he said, “I have here in my hand a quarter
shekel of silver. I will give it to the man of God, and he will tell us our way.”
And as they were going down to the end of the city, Samuel said to Saul,
Bid the servant pass on before us, (and he passed on,) but stand thou still a while, that I may
shew thee the word of God.

ahead of us, but you stay for a while, and I will
reveal to you the word of God.” So the servant went on.

Gilgal; and, behold, I will come down unto thee, to offer burnt offerings, and to sacrifice sacrifices of peace offerings: seven days shalt thou
tarry, till I come to thee, and
shew thee what thou shalt do.
And you shall go before me to
Gilgal, and surely I will come to you to offer burnt offerings and to sacrifice peace offerings. Wait seven days until I come to you and show you what you are to do.”
And they said unto the messengers that came, Thus shall ye say unto the men of
Jabesh-
gilead, To
morrow, by that time the sun be hot, ye shall have help. And the messengers came and

glad.

sharpen the goads.
And the men of the garrison answered
Jonathan and his armourbearer, and said, Come up to us, and we will
shew you a thing. And
Jonathan said unto his armourbearer, Come up after me: for the LORD hath delivered them into the hand of Israel.
So the men of the outpost called out to
Jonathan and his
armor-bearer, “Come on up, and we will teach you a
lesson!” “Follow me,”
Jonathan told his
armor-bearer, “for the LORD has delivered them into the hand of Israel.”
And the people
flew upon the
spoil, and took
sheep, and oxen, and
calves, and
slew them on the ground: and the people did eat them with the blood.
So they
rushed greedily to the
plunder, taking
sheep, cattle, and
calves. They slaughtered them on the ground and
ate meat with the blood still in it.
And Saul said,
Disperse yourselves among the people, and say unto them, Bring me
hither every man his ox, and every man his
sheep, and
slay them here, and eat; and sin not against the LORD in eating with the blood. And all the people brought every man his ox with him that night, and
slew them there.
Then he said, “Go among the troops and tell them, ‘Each man must bring me his ox or his
sheep, slaughter them in this place, and then eat. Do not sin against the LORD by eating meat with the blood still in it.’” So that night
everyone brought his ox and slaughtered it there.
Now go and
smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and
spare them not; but
slay both man and woman, infant and
suckling, ox and
sheep,
camel and
ass.
Now go and attack the
Amalekites and
devote to destruction all that belongs to them. Do not
spare them, but put to death men and women, children and infants, oxen and
sheep, camels and
donkeys.’”
And Saul said unto the
Kenites, Go, depart, get you down from among the
Amalekites, lest I destroy you with them: for ye
shewed kindness to all the children of Israel, when they came up out of Egypt. So the
Kenites departed from among the
Amalekites.
And he
warned the
Kenites, “Since you showed kindness to all the Israelites when they came up out of Egypt, go on and get away from the
Amalekites. Otherwise I will
sweep you away with them.” So the
Kenites moved away from the
Amalekites.
But Saul and the people
spared Agag, and the best of the
sheep, and of the oxen, and of the fatlings, and the lambs, and all that was good, and would not utterly destroy them: but every thing that was
vile and refuse, that they destroyed utterly.
Saul and his troops
spared Agag, along with the best of the
sheep and cattle, the fat
calves and lambs, and the best of everything else. They were unwilling to destroy them, but they devoted to destruction all that was
despised and worthless.
And Samuel said, What meaneth then this
bleating of the
sheep in mine ears, and the lowing of the oxen which I hear?
But Samuel replied, “Then what is this
bleating of
sheep and lowing of cattle that I hear?”
And Saul said, They have brought them from the
Amalekites: for the people
spared the best of the
sheep and of the oxen, to sacrifice unto the LORD thy God; and the rest we have utterly destroyed.
Saul answered, “The troops brought them from the
Amalekites; they
spared the best
sheep and cattle to sacrifice to the LORD your God, but the rest we devoted to destruction.”
But the people took of the
spoil,
sheep and oxen, the chief of the things which should have been utterly destroyed, to sacrifice unto the LORD thy God in
Gilgal.
The troops took
sheep and cattle from the
plunder, the best of the things devoted to destruction, in order to sacrifice them to the LORD your God at
Gilgal.”
And call
Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will
shew thee what thou shalt do: and thou shalt
anoint unto me him whom I name unto thee.
Then
invite Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will show you what you are to do. You are to
anoint for Me the one I indicate.”
And Samuel said unto
Jesse, Are here all thy children? And he said, There remaineth yet the youngest, and, behold, he keepeth the
sheep. And Samuel said unto
Jesse, Send and
fetch him: for we will not sit down till he come
hither.
And Samuel asked him, “Are these all the sons you have?” “There is still the youngest,”
Jesse replied, “but he is tending the
sheep.” “Send for him,” Samuel replied. “For we will not sit down to eat until he arrives.”
Wherefore Saul sent messengers unto
Jesse, and said, Send me David thy son, which is with the
sheep.
So Saul sent messengers to
Jesse and said, “Send me your son David, who is with the
sheep.”

helmet of brass upon his head, and he was armed with a coat of
mail; and the weight of the coat was five thousand
shekels of brass.

helmet on his head. He
wore a bronze coat of
mail weighing five thousand
shekels,
And the staff of his
spear was like a
weaver’s beam; and his
spear’s head
weighed six hundred
shekels of iron: and one bearing a shield went before him.

spear was like a
weaver’s beam, and its iron point
weighed six hundred
shekels. In addition, his shield bearer went before him.
But David went and returned from Saul to feed his father’s
sheep at
Bethlehem.
but David went back and forth from Saul to tend his father’s
sheep in
Bethlehem.
And David rose up early in the morning, and left the
sheep with a keeper, and took, and went, as
Jesse had commanded him; and he came to the
trench, as the host was going forth to the fight, and
shouted for the battle.
So David got up early in the morning, left the flock with a keeper, loaded up, and set out as
Jesse had
instructed him. He reached the camp as the army was marching out to its position and
shouting the battle cry.
And Eliab his eldest brother heard when he spake unto the men; and Eliab’s anger was
kindled against David, and he said, Why camest thou down
hither? and with whom hast thou left those few
sheep in the wilderness? I know thy pride, and the
naughtiness of thine heart; for thou art come down that thou mightest see the battle.
Now when David’s oldest brother Eliab heard him speaking to the men, his anger burned against David. “Why have you come down here?” he asked. “And with whom did you leave those few sheep in the wilderness? I know your pride and wickedness of heart—you have come down to see the battle!”
And David said unto Saul, Thy servant kept his father’s sheep, and there came a lion, and a bear, and took a lamb out of the flock:
David replied, “Your servant has been tending his father’s sheep, and whenever a lion or a bear came and carried off a lamb from the flock,
And he took his staff in his hand, and chose him five smooth stones out of the
brook, and put them in a
shepherd’s
bag which he had, even in a
scrip; and his
sling was in his hand: and he drew near to the
Philistine.
And David took his staff in his hand, selected five smooth stones from the
brook, and put them in the
pouch of his
shepherd’s
bag. And with his
sling in hand, he approached the
Philistine.
Therefore David ran, and stood upon the
Philistine, and took his sword, and drew it out of the
sheath thereof, and
slew him, and cut off his head
therewith. And when the Philistines saw their
champion was dead, they fled.
David ran and stood over him. He
grabbed the
Philistine’s sword and pulled it from its
sheath and killed him; and he cut off his head with the sword. When the Philistines saw that their hero was dead, they turned and ran.
But it came to pass at the time when Merab Saul’s daughter should have been given to David, that she was given unto Adriel the Meholathite to wife.
So when it was time to give Saul’s daughter Merab to David, she was given in marriage to Adriel of Meholah.
And Saul said, I will give him her, that
she may be a
snare to him, and that the hand of the Philistines may be against him. Wherefore Saul said to David, Thou shalt this day be my son in law in the one of the
twain.
“I will give her to David,” Saul thought, “so that
she may be a
snare to him, and the hand of the Philistines may be against him.” So Saul said to David, “For a second time now you can be my son-in-law.”
And
Jonathan called David, and
Jonathan shewed him all those things. And
Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he was in his presence, as in times past.
So
Jonathan summoned David and told him all these things. Then
Jonathan brought David to Saul to serve him as he had before.
And when Saul sent messengers to take David, she said, He is sick.
When Saul sent the messengers to seize David, Michal said, “He is ill.”
And he said unto him, God
forbid; thou shalt not die: behold, my father will do nothing either great or small, but that he will
shew it me: and why should my father hide this thing from me? it is not so.
“Far from it!”
Jonathan replied. “You will not die. Indeed, my father does nothing, great or small, without telling me. So why would he hide this matter from me? This cannot be true!”
And
Jonathan said unto David, O LORD God of Israel, when I have sounded my father about to
morrow any time, or the third day, and, behold, if there be good toward David, and I then send not unto thee, and
shew it thee;
and
Jonathan said, “By the LORD, the God of Israel, I will sound out my father by this time
tomorrow or the next day. If he is favorable toward you, will I not send for you and tell you?
The LORD do so and much more to
Jonathan: but if it please my father to do thee evil, then I will
shew it thee, and send thee away, that thou mayest go in peace: and the LORD be with thee, as he hath been with my father.
But if my father intends to bring evil on you, then may the LORD
punish me, and ever so severely, if I do not tell you and send you on your way in safety. May the LORD be with you, just as He has been with my father.
And thou shalt not only while yet I live
shew me the kindness of the LORD, that I die not:
And as long as I live, treat me with the LORD’s loving devotion, that I may not die,
So the priest gave him
hallowed bread: for there was no bread there but the
shewbread, that was taken from before the LORD, to put hot bread in the day when it was taken away.
So the priest gave him the consecrated bread, since there was no bread there but the Bread of the Presence, which had been removed from before the LORD and replaced with hot bread on the day it was taken away.
Now a certain man of the servants of Saul was there that day,
detained before the LORD; and his name was Doeg, an
Edomite, the chiefest of the herdmen that belonged to Saul.
Now one of Saul’s servants was there that day,
detained before the LORD. And his name was Doeg the
Edomite, the chief
shepherd for Saul.
That all of you have
conspired against me, and there is none that
sheweth me that my son hath made a league with the son of
Jesse, and there is none of you that is
sorry for me, or
sheweth unto me that my son hath
stirred up my servant against me, to lie in wait, as at this day?
Is that why all of you have
conspired against me? Not one of you told me that my own son had made a covenant with the son of
Jesse. Not one of you has shown
concern for me or revealed to me that my son has
stirred up my own servant to lie in wait against me, as is the case
today.”
And the king said unto the
footmen that stood about him, Turn, and
slay the priests of the LORD; because their hand also is with David, and because they knew when he fled, and did not
shew it to me. But the servants of the king would not put forth their hand to fall upon the priests of the LORD.
Then the king ordered the guards at his side, “Turn and kill the priests of the LORD, because they too sided with David. For they knew he was
fleeing, but they did not tell me.” But the king’s servants would not lift a hand to strike the priests of the LORD.
And
Nob, the city of the priests,
smote he with the edge of the sword, both men and women, children and sucklings, and oxen, and
asses, and
sheep, with the edge of the sword.
He also put to the sword
Nob, the city of the priests, with its men and women, children and infants, oxen,
donkeys, and
sheep.
And
Abiathar shewed David that Saul had slain the LORD’S priests.
And
Abiathar told David that Saul had killed the priests of the LORD.
And he came to the sheepcotes by the way, where was a cave; and Saul went in to cover his feet: and David and his men remained in the sides of the cave.
Soon Saul came to the
sheepfolds along the road, where there was a cave, and he went in to
relieve himself. And David and his men were hiding in the recesses of the cave.
And thou hast
shewed this day how that thou hast dealt well with me:
forasmuch as when the LORD had delivered me into thine hand, thou killedst me not.
And you have shown this day how well you have dealt with me; for when the LORD delivered me into your hand, you did not kill me.
And there was a man in Maon, whose possessions were in
Carmel; and the man was very great, and he had three thousand
sheep, and a thousand goats: and he was
shearing his
sheep in
Carmel.
Now there was a man in Maon whose business was in
Carmel. He was a very wealthy man with a thousand goats and three thousand
sheep, which he was
shearing in
Carmel.
Now the name of the man was Nabal; and the name of his wife
Abigail: and
she was a woman of good understanding, and of a beautiful countenance: but the man was
churlish and evil in his doings; and he was of the house of
Caleb.
His name was Nabal, and his wife’s name was
Abigail.
She was an intelligent and beautiful woman, but her husband, a Calebite, was harsh and evil in his dealings.
And David heard in the wilderness that Nabal did
shear his
sheep.
While David was in the wilderness, he heard that Nabal was shearing sheep.
And now I have heard that thou hast
shearers: now thy
shepherds which were with us, we
hurt them not, neither was there ought missing unto them, all the while they were in
Carmel.
Now I hear that it is time for
shearing. When your
shepherds were with us, we did not
harass them, and nothing of theirs was missing the whole time they were in
Carmel.
Ask thy young men, and they will
shew thee. Wherefore let the young men find favour in thine eyes: for we come in a good day: give, I pray thee,
whatsoever cometh to thine hand unto thy servants, and to thy son David.
Ask your young men, and they will tell you. So let my young men find favor with you, for we have come on the day of a feast. Please give whatever you can afford to your servants and to your son David.’”
Shall I then take my bread, and my water, and my flesh that I have killed for my shearers, and give it unto men, whom I know not whence they be?
Why should I take my bread and water and the meat I have slaughtered for my shearers, and give them to these men whose origin I do not know?”
They were a wall unto us both by night and day, all the while we were with them keeping the sheep.
They were a wall around us, both day and night, the whole time we were
herding our
sheep near them.
Then
Abigail made
haste, and took two hundred
loaves, and two bottles of wine, and five
sheep ready dressed, and five measures of
parched corn, and an hundred clusters of
raisins, and two hundred cakes of figs, and laid them on
asses.
And she said unto her servants, Go on before me; behold, I come after you. But she told not her husband Nabal.
and said to her young men, “Go
ahead of me. I will be right behind you.” But
she did not tell her husband Nabal.
And it was so, as
she rode on the
ass, that
she came down by the
covert of the hill, and, behold, David and his men came down against her; and
she met them.
As
Abigail came riding her
donkey into a mountain
ravine,
she saw David and his men coming down toward her, and
she met them.
And when
Abigail saw David,
she hasted, and lighted off the
ass, and fell before David on her face, and bowed herself to the ground,
When
Abigail saw David,
she quickly got off the
donkey, fell facedown, and bowed before him.
And fell at his feet, and said, Upon me, my lord, upon me let this iniquity be: and let thine
handmaid, I pray thee, speak in thine
audience, and hear the words of thine
handmaid.
She fell at his feet and said, “My lord, may the
blame be on me alone, but please let your servant speak to you; hear the words of your servant.
Now therefore, my lord, as the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, seeing the LORD hath
withholden thee from coming to
shed blood, and from
avenging thyself with thine own hand, now let thine enemies, and they that seek evil to my lord, be as Nabal.
Now, my lord, as surely as the LORD lives and you
yourself live, the LORD has held you back from coming to
bloodshed and
avenging yourself with your own hand. May your enemies and those who seek
harm for my lord be like Nabal.
That this shall be no grief unto thee, nor offence of heart unto my lord, either that thou hast
shed blood causeless, or that my lord hath
avenged himself: but when the LORD shall have dealt well with my lord, then remember thine
handmaid.
then my lord will have no
remorse or guilt of conscience over needless
bloodshed and
revenge. And when the LORD has dealt well with my lord, may you remember your
maidservant.”
And blessed be thy advice, and blessed be thou, which hast kept me this day from coming to
shed blood, and from
avenging myself with mine own hand.
So David received of her hand that which
she had brought him, and said unto her, Go up in peace to thine house; see, I have
hearkened to thy voice, and have accepted thy person.
Then David accepted from her hand what
she had brought him, and he said to her, “Go home in peace. See, I have
heeded your voice and granted your request.”
And
Abigail came to Nabal; and, behold, he held a feast in his house, like the feast of a king; and Nabal’s heart was
merry within him, for he was very
drunken: wherefore
she told him nothing, less or more, until the morning light.
When
Abigail returned to Nabal, there he was in the house, holding a feast fit for a king, in high spirits and very
drunk. So
she told him nothing until morning light.
And
she arose, and bowed herself on her face to the earth, and said, Behold, let thine
handmaid be a servant to wash the feet of the servants of my lord.
She arose, then bowed facedown and said, “Here is your
maidservant, ready to serve and to wash the feet of my lord’s servants.”
And
Abigail hasted, and arose, and
rode upon an
ass, with five damsels of hers that went after her; and
she went after the messengers of David, and became his wife.
So
Abigail hurried and got on a
donkey, and attended by five of her maidens,
she followed David’s messengers and became his wife.
David also took Ahinoam of
Jezreel; and they were also both of them his wives.
David had also married Ahinoam of
Jezreel. So
she and
Abigail were both his wives.
And David
smote the land, and left neither man nor woman alive, and took away the
sheep, and the oxen, and the
asses, and the camels, and the
apparel, and returned, and came to Achish.
Whenever David attacked a territory, he did not leave a man or woman alive, but he took the flocks and herds, the
donkeys, camels, and clothing. Then he would return to Achish,
And when the woman saw Samuel,
she cried with a loud voice: and the woman spake to Saul, saying, Why hast thou
deceived me? for thou art Saul.
But when the woman saw Samuel,
she cried out in a loud voice and said to Saul, “Why have you
deceived me? You are Saul!”
And he said unto her, What form is he of? And
she said, An old man cometh up; and he is covered with a
mantle. And Saul perceived that it was Samuel, and he
stooped with his face to the ground, and bowed himself.
“What does he look like?” asked Saul. “An old man is coming up,”
she replied. “And he is wearing a
robe.” So Saul knew that it was Samuel, and he bowed facedown in reverence.
And the woman came unto Saul, and saw that he was
sore troubled, and said unto him, Behold, thine
handmaid hath obeyed thy voice, and I have put my life in my hand, and have
hearkened unto thy words which thou spakest unto me.
When the woman came to Saul and saw how
distraught he was,
she said to him, “Look, your
maidservant has obeyed your voice. I took my life in my hands and did as you told me.
And the woman had a fat
calf in the house; and
she hasted, and killed it, and took flour, and
kneaded it, and did
bake unleavened bread thereof:
And she brought it before Saul, and before his servants; and they did eat. Then they rose up, and went away that night.
She served it to Saul and his servants, and they
ate. And that night they got up and left.
And David sent messengers unto the men of
Jabesh-
gilead, and said unto them, Blessed be ye of the LORD, that ye have
shewed this kindness unto your lord, even unto Saul, and have buried him.
So David sent messengers to the men of
Jabesh-
gilead to tell them, “The LORD
bless you, because you showed this kindness to Saul your lord when you buried him.
And now the LORD
shew kindness and truth unto you: and I also will requite you this kindness, because ye have done this thing.
Now may the LORD show you loving devotion and faithfulness, and I will also show you the same favor because you have done this.
And the fourth, Adonijah the son of Haggith; and the fifth, Shephatiah the son of Abital;
his fourth was Adonijah, the son of Haggith; his fifth was Shephatiah, the son of Abital;
Then was
Abner very
wroth for the words of
Ish-bosheth, and said, Am I a dog’s head, which against Judah do
shew kindness this day unto the house of Saul thy father, to his brethren, and to his friends, and have not delivered thee into the hand of David, that thou chargest me to day with a fault concerning this woman?
Abner was
furious over
Ish-bosheth’s
accusation. “Am I the head of a dog that belongs to Judah?” he asked. “All this time I have been
loyal to the house of your father Saul, to his brothers, and to his friends. I have not delivered you into the hand of David, but now you
accuse me of
wrongdoing with this woman!
To
translate the kingdom from the house of Saul, and to set up the throne of David over Israel and over Judah, from
Dan even to Beer-
sheba.
to transfer the kingdom from the house of Saul and to establish the throne of David over Israel and Judah, from
Dan to
Beersheba.”
And
Jonathan, Saul’s son, had a son that was
lame of his feet. He was five years old when the
tidings came of Saul and
Jonathan out of
Jezreel, and his
nurse took him up, and fled: and it came to pass, as
she made
haste to
flee, that he fell, and became
lame. And his name was Mephibosheth.
And
Jonathan son of Saul had a son who was
lame in his feet. He was five years old when the report about Saul and
Jonathan came from
Jezreel. His
nurse picked him up and fled, but as
she was
hurrying to escape, he fell and became
lame. His name was Mephibosheth.
Also in time past, when Saul was king over us, thou
wast he that leddest out and broughtest in Israel: and the LORD said to thee, Thou shalt feed my people Israel, and thou shalt be a captain over Israel.
Even in times past, while Saul was king over us, you were the one who led Israel out and brought them back. And to you the LORD said, ‘You will
shepherd My people Israel, and you will be ruler over them.’”
And as the ark of the LORD came into the city of David, Michal Saul’s daughter looked through a window, and saw king David
leaping and dancing before the LORD; and
she despised him in her heart.
As the ark of the LORD was entering the City of David, Saul’s daughter Michal looked down from a window and saw King David
leaping and dancing before the LORD, and
she despised him in her heart.
Then David returned to
bless his household. And Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David, and said, How glorious was the king of Israel
today, who uncovered himself to day in the eyes of the handmaids of his servants, as one of the vain fellows
shamelessly uncovereth himself!
As soon as David returned home to
bless his own household, Saul’s daughter Michal came out to meet him. “How the king of Israel has distinguished himself
today!”
she said. “He has uncovered himself
today in the sight of the maidservants of his subjects, like a vulgar person would do.”
In all the places wherein I have walked with all the children of Israel spake I a word with any of the tribes of Israel, whom I commanded to feed my people Israel, saying, Why build ye not me an house of
cedar?
In all My journeys with all the Israelites, have I ever asked any of the leaders I appointed to
shepherd My people Israel, ‘Why
haven’t you built Me a house of
cedar?’
Now therefore so shalt thou say unto my servant David, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, I took thee from the
sheepcote, from following the
sheep, to be ruler over my people, over Israel:
Now then, you are to tell My servant David that this is what the LORD of Hosts says: I took you from the pasture, from following the flock, to be the ruler over My people Israel.
And David said, Is there yet any that is left of the house of Saul, that I may
shew him kindness for
Jonathan’s sake?
Then David asked, “Is there
anyone left from the house of Saul to whom I can show kindness for the sake of
Jonathan?”
And the king said, Is there not yet any of the house of Saul, that I may
shew the kindness of God unto him? And Ziba said unto the king,
Jonathan hath yet a son, which is
lame on his feet.
So the king asked, “Is there
anyone left of Saul’s family to whom I can show the kindness of God?” Ziba answered, “There is still
Jonathan’s son, who is
lame in both feet.”
And David said unto him, Fear not: for I will surely
shew thee kindness for
Jonathan thy father’s sake, and will restore thee all the land of Saul thy father; and thou shalt eat bread at my table continually.
“Do not be afraid,” said David, “for surely I will show you kindness for the sake of your father
Jonathan. I will restore to you all the land of your
grandfather Saul, and you will always eat at my table.”
Then said David, I will
shew kindness unto Hanun the son of Nahash, as his father
shewed kindness unto me. And David sent to comfort him by the hand of his servants for his father. And David’s servants came into the land of the children of
Ammon.
And David said, “I will show kindness to Hanun son of Nahash, just as his father showed kindness to me.” So David sent some of his servants to
console Hanun concerning his father. But when they arrived in the land of the
Ammonites,
And David sent and enquired after the woman. And one said, Is not this Bath-
sheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Uriah the Hittite?
So David sent and inquired about the woman, and he was told, “This is Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam and the wife of Uriah the Hittite.”
And David sent messengers, and took her; and
she came in unto him, and he lay with her; for
she was
purified from her uncleanness: and
she returned unto her house.
Then David sent messengers to get her, and when
she came to him, he
slept with her. (Now
she had just

she returned home.
So the
messenger went, and came and
shewed David all that
Joab had sent him for.
So the
messenger set out and reported to David all that
Joab had sent him to say.
And when the wife of Uriah heard that Uriah her husband was dead,
she mourned for her husband.
When Uriah’s wife heard that her husband was dead,
she mourned for him.
And when the
mourning was past, David sent and
fetched her to his house, and
she became his wife, and bare him a son. But the thing that David had done displeased the LORD.
And when the time of

The rich man had exceeding many flocks and herds:
The rich man had a great number of sheep and cattle,
And there came a traveller unto the rich man, and he
spared to take of his own flock and of his own
herd, to dress for the
wayfaring man that was come unto him; but took the poor man’s lamb, and dressed it for the man that was come to him.
Now a traveler came to the rich man, who
refrained from taking one of his own
sheep or cattle to prepare for the traveler who had come to him. Instead, he took the poor man’s lamb and prepared it for his
guest.”
And David comforted Bath-
sheba his wife, and went in unto her, and lay with her: and
she bare a son, and he called his name Solomon: and the LORD loved him.

And Amnon was so
vexed, that he fell sick for his sister Tamar; for
she was a virgin; and Amnon thought it hard for him to do any thing to her.
Amnon was sick with
frustration over his sister Tamar, for
she was a virgin, and it seemed

So Tamar went to her brother Amnon’s house; and he was laid down. And
she took flour, and
kneaded it, and made cakes in his sight, and did
bake the cakes.
So Tamar went to the house of her brother Amnon, who was lying down.
She took some
dough,
kneaded it, made cakes in his sight, and
baked them.
And she took a pan, and poured them out before him; but he refused to eat. And Amnon said, Have out all men from me. And they went out every man from him.
Then
she brought the pan and set it down before him, but he refused to eat. “Send
everyone away!” said Amnon. And
everyone went out.
And Amnon said unto Tamar, Bring the meat into the chamber, that I may eat of thine hand. And Tamar took the cakes which she had made, and brought them into the chamber to Amnon her brother.
Then Amnon said to Tamar, “Bring the food into the
bedroom, so that I may eat it from your hand.” Tamar took the cakes
she had made and went to her brother Amnon’s
bedroom.
